Cut the recipe in half and I did add some chuck roast I had plus the ground beef and added some diced tomatoes I also had left. Other than those additions I followed the recipe. Topped with cilantro, sliced green onions and cheese. This is a good recipe and one I definately will make again. Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.

Add beans and simmer 15 minutes more. Add Tabasco sauce and season with salt to taste.

This dish can also be cooked in a Crock Pot. Toss the cooked meat mixture in the crock pot, add the remaining ingredients except kidney beans and Tabasco sauce. Cook for 4 hours on high or 7 - 8 hours on low. Add the kidney beans and Tabasco in the last hour.

Chili can be serve with chopped fresh cilantro as a garnish. Can also be served with Saltines crackers or natcho chips on the side. Dill-pickle pieces are great as a side dish or garnish.
